Turbine and Wing Fluid Mechanics

boundary layer control is studied by direct intervention of large-scale turbulent structures

flow separation control by surface plasma and fluid jets (pulsed and synthetic jet actuators) with a particular application to aircraft

In terms of the state of the art applications, our current research is concerned with wind turbine structure optimisation, computational fluid mechanics (CFD) software development and wind power system design.

The group also studies gas turbine turbulent flow heat transfer and blade cooling.
